Pledge

From this point forward I will not stand to be unhappy any longer. I will not stand to be broken down, broken apart, broken-hearted. From this point forward my success does not depend on my waistline and my strength does not depend on my weakness. My biggest fear is not the nutrition label. From this point forward I will not worry those who love me. I will not look at those with hip bones and rib cages and be jealous. I will not be afraid to eat the birthday cake you made me. I will not measure every morsel as if any more would make it poison. From this point forward food is not my enemy and Ana is not my friend. Size zero is not beautiful and 90 pounds is not ideal. I am no longer enslaved by my scale and it is not an awful day when I weigh enough to donate blood. From this point forward the only things coming out of my mouth will be words. I will no longer be called Disgraceful, Disgusting, Distasteful. From this point forward I am Inspired, Indestructable, Independent.

i don't care what anyone else commented, but i really liked it. it's really different from what i write about. i usually find a fantasy for me like put myself in different shoes. i never stopped to think about how i felt or what i wanted.

I really like the beginning of the poem. I like the way it is relatable. It's like hearing someone promise that they're not going to let themselves be effected by the little things. Really great job. Thanks for writing and sharing this. Keep it up (:
